Shorty boots and armoured jeans.

[Gobert]

I'm after any recommendations of either really.

Anyone wear either regularly? Shorty boots appeal due to the ankle protection but the fact they don't take forever to put on.

Really?..............I wear Supertech R's and they take way less than a minute to put on and fit under most cuts of jean. Sidi's might be different?

[MOzZereLLa]

Sidi's are very different sadly.

They fit great but take ages to get all the adjuster flaps in the right order and tightened down and are fairly bulky underneath the jeans I have at the moment.

Plus they are not showerproof.

I've just found these for £85 delivered. Will give them a go.

I'm tending towards kevlar jeans and short boots on most occasions currently. Have a pair of  sartso combats which take armour and a pair of hornee jeans which take armour.  The knox ones look good as the armour goes in from the outside and I'm also considering a pair of roadskins. Current armour is HG soft armour which is comfy..

Are the Knox jeans fully lined (rather than patches) Manic??

[Jarse]

If my memory serves me right Knox don't have pockets for knee and hip armour.

[MOzZereLLa]

They do have pockets for knee and appealingly, it slides in from the outside making it stay in place better.

Are the Knox jeans fully lined (rather than patches) Manic??

Tbh I can't remember, the road skins are and they do a pair which are double lined, supposedly as good as leather in an abrasion test.. but the Knox ones are stylish and as you say the way the armour fits is an appeal

Having double checked they are apparently fully lined

[MOzZereLLa]

Looks like Knox are the ones to try. I missed out on a pair of Maple 71s on eBay last night and despite them possibly being too big I'm pretty gutted about it. Reading about them they are considered to be the best by far.

[Lord Danoir the first]

I've got Red Route jeans which have padded hips and armoured knees. Crashed twice in them and we're both still in tact.

They look quite cool and I can wear them with a shirt for work.

[MOzZereLLa]

Another one to have a look for. Thanks Dan x

I have Sidi Vertigo Corsa's so know Sidis fit me well but those streetburners are mega pricey

there worth the money...

They're

In this instance Alzo I'm far more interested in seeing how a conversation goes where Carbon tries to explain to Moz the virtues of spending the proper money on the kit for the job than I am interested in how he spells that conversation.

My irony senses are tingling!
